No fine pan tilt control in ONVIF integration. Movement is erratic.

The problem

I am using the ONVIF integration with a cheap wireless Faleemi PTZ camera (FSC776) that I had laying around. I added the code to enable PTZ control found here. I have the distance set to 0.1 and it moves quite far. Anything less than 0.1 (such as 0.05) does not seem to make it any finer than 0.1. Also, the distance it moves varies each time. There seems to be something funny going on here. Moving the camera around with its phone app works as expected. I'm at a loss.
